After the matter of recruiting demons was over, I and the rest of the Kunlunmen people were ordered to prepare the imperial capital Qionglin banquet for the Lantern Festival in the second year of Zhengtai in the Dragon and Tiger Cave. A few days after Kuang Yizhen was in the Dragon and Tiger Cave, he said that he would go to Jinling to see the governor of Jiangnan and leave the mountain. The Huiyuan of the Dragon and Tiger Sect gave a lot of money to the Confucian students in the mountains as usual, and the head of Qingyu wrote a letter of recommendation to Kuang Yizhen to deliver Yuwen Badu; and the Seven Tails Su was kept in the mountain by Ji Liuli with both soft and hard - Manying will be a strong snake in the imperial capital, and we have to rely on him for many things when we walk in the imperial capital.

In the middle of the two months, the building where I lived was adjacent to the Dojo, that is, across the sea of clouds from the humble heart peak where Princess Lin lived.

The regulations of the Dragon and Tiger Sect are similar to those of Kunlun: the outer disciples who have not been taught live in the subordinate buildings of the Duren Academy, the inner disciples generally work in pairs to rent the peak of a sect, and there are also conceited inner disciples who seek the ownerless spiritual mountain in the vast world to be their own dojo.

In history, those who were given the Lingshan Dojo by the sect were all powerful golden pills. Pian Pian was promoted to the upper Jin Dan during the Battle of Yunmeng, her merits and cultivation were enough, but her contribution to the Dao was insufficient, so she did not have such treatment

- Her spiritual mountain was not rewarded by the sect, but inherited her deceased mother's dojo "Humility Peak" as a descendant disciple.

The mountain I borrowed is called "Feiya", and it is said that it is a spiritual mountain that sensed the aura of the Dragon and Tiger Cave and flew by itself. The southern foot of the mountain is the subordinate building of the Dragon and Tiger Sect's Huiyuan, and the northern foot of the mountain is the monkey soldier dojo where the Dragon and Tiger Sect trains immortal seedlings, and the monkey demon is the master of the dojo.

Those who live with me in the Feiyefeng Pavilion are: Liu Ziyue, Jizo Lion, and Ji Liuli's chess-loving boy Zhiyi. The black and white bear is riding because of Princess Lin's ride, and he is happy to live with two beauties.

The building of Feiye Peak is full of aura, the dojo is full of cultivation and daily application, and there are also yellow turban wrestlers guarding the mountain and puppet attendants, which shows the sincerity of hospitality.

There are only two fly in the ointment:

Every time the third watch is dawning, regardless of the wind and rain, Juan San Lang will supervise the monkeys to practice martial arts formations, and the sound of killing shakes Feiye Peak. This monkey demon also practiced more times from time to time, and a few times I was forced to make up my mind during cultivation, and went out of the hall with the silver snake sword to inspect the enemy's situation;

From time to time, a gang of daring monkey spirits sneaked into my house to ask for food and drink. I'm not a stingy person, for the sake of Kunlun's face, I took out a lot of Huang Ya Dan and Zhuji Dan in my own pocket. By the time Pian Pian told them that she could fool them with Houshan Immortal Peach, I had already spent a few gourd pills.

As mentioned earlier, when the monkeys at the northern foot of Mt. Hiya came to our house to entangle, I was pushed out to break the bank: at this time, Liu Ziyue always disappeared on time, Zhiyi pretended to be deaf and dumb to his chessboard like a stone statue, and Jizo Lion lay on the ground and snored and fell asleep.

When the monkeys returned triumphantly with my heart's whims, the three creatures suddenly appeared, moved, and awakened again.

I don't get angry with a lion, but I can't help but glare at Liu Zi more angrily,

"Senior Brother Liu, now I am no longer the head of the Cloud Sweeping Group. A few of us Kunlunmen people should take turns to go out to deal with those monkeys!"

Liu Ziyue replied,

"Senior Brother Yuan, you have been in the first year for a year, and you are eighteen years old, and you have won the Lingshan Dojo rewarded by my sect. This little bit of breaking money is still in my heart, but the idea is not accessible. ”

I was a little embarrassed to think of the half-contained Kunlun Spiritual Mountain—I unceremoniously picked a top-notch spiritual mountain near Princess Lin's dojo on the landscape diagram of the various veins of Kunlun and named it "Lei Feng".

Liu Ziyue took this opportunity to begin to repeat the long sighs that he must have every day, and he talked about my distribution of the spoils of the Cloud Sweeping Regiment in the past two months, blaming Princess Lin for not taking him to the demon at that time. Liu Ziyue nagged that the Goldenfinch Bird clan loved to eat dragons and snakes, and if he was present at that time, he would definitely transfer the corpses of those beast dragons in Yunmeng City at a high price, so that everyone in the Cloud Sweeping Group would make another big profit.

――Of course, I know that the more Yanagiko is a person who spares his life, he will never take the initiative to get into trouble.

"Senior Brother Liu. I remember that in Cloud Dream City, you also looted the flesh and blood of a fallen Peacock Dao soldier. Those private slaves of the Sword Sect didn't listen to you, didn't the senior brother cover his hands hot? Beware of the Sword Sect's people coming to ask for it. ”

I ridiculed Liu Ziyue with my lips.

Liu Zi became more and more panicked, and mysteriously transmitted my thoughts:

"Senior Brother Yuan, I see that you are straight-hearted, so I will sue you alone. I had already contacted the person who took over the flesh and blood of those peacock demons, and the two of us opened three or seven -- hey, what kind of expression do you have? Then four or six open! I will be six and you will be four. ”

I thought of the scene where Liu Ziyue picked up peacocks and dragon meat in the pile of corpses, and waved his hand,

"I don't eat scavenging, my brother is at his own discretion. I promise not to tell the rest of the Cloudsweepers that it is. ”

The more Liu Zi laughed,

"That's for the best. That's for the best. ”

Speaking of the people of the Cloud Sweeping Regiment in the Battle of Yunmeng, in the past two months, I used paper cranes to convey to them the news that I and others were safe, and I used various means to distribute the second phase of the spoils of the war to everyone. The people of the Dragon and Tiger Sect had already returned to Benshan before, and the people of Kunlun had either continued the trial or taken over the subsequent assignment of duties from the sect. In addition to the spoils of the Battle of Yunmeng, they all received additional rewards from the sect

- But they were not included in the Middle-earth court's Qionglin feast.

On a certain day in the winter month of the first year of Zhengtai, Ji Liuli went to a house in the courtyard of the Dragon and Tiger Society, and summoned the people of Feiye Peak and Humility Peak. On the list of banquets he gave to all of us, the imperial court ordered to invite the people of the sect who fought fiercely in the final battle of Yunmeng.

On the list, Kunlun is at the top of the list, I am the first, Princess Lin is the second, and Liu Ziyue is the third. Jizo Lion and Xiong Fengmeng are both demon clans, and according to the rules of the imperial court, they can only go to the banquet with the qualification of riding. When Feng Meng heard that he was going to the imperial capital where countless people had blown the sky, he hurriedly agreed, and the Jizo lion kept its golden pill for a long time, until I promised that the reward given to me by the emperor would be divided equally with his own ride, and the lion changed his words half-pushed and half-touched on the spot.

The Jizo Lion handed me a contract. I pressed the mudra, and it pressed the little plum lion's paw. If I lay the skin, it will come to ride me later.

The chess-loving boy knew that he was not on the list, but he went to the Qionglin banquet with us.

Ji Liuli introduced that knowing righteousness is the saint of chess that no one in the Western Wilderness Continent can match. The little emperor of Middle-earth is good at chess, and the national players of Kyushu in the sea cannot match. When the Ministry of Rites drew up the list of banquets, the emperor asked Wenhou Ji Xiaoai to ask for the national hand of the world, so he knew that he entered the imperial capital on the order of Kunlun. The officials agreed to grant him the four-rank official position of "chess to be edicted", which was subordinate to the palace secretary.

When he got along with us, the boy didn't pay attention to anything other than the daily practice of the Shangqing Classics, which was to sit in front of a chessboard and play against people who couldn't see it. I was curious to play chess with him, and he let me lose more than 30 moves, and I never played against him again.

The list is followed by the Dragon and Tiger Sect, who invites Pian Pian to the banquet, and the second is the Xingzong Sect, who invites Nangong Panshi to the banquet - but Ji Liuli said that Nangong will not go to the retreat at that time, and his name on the list is only for the imperial court to show respect for the Xingzong; as for Gongsun Wenlong, he is a person from an enemy country, and he does not have his share in the banquet list.

At the end of the list are Zhong Dajun and Qin Xiao of the Sword Sect.

For 500 years, the Daomen has protected Middle-earth, and it has always been the first to make the merits of the Sword Sect. Only this time, our Kunlun's merits are firmly above the Sword Sect.

"Isn't Lin Zhenren going to the imperial capital for a banquet?"

I asked Ji Liuli.

"Lin Daoming, except for his master Yun Xianke, the rest of the world is not in his eyes, so naturally he will not go to the imperial capital with you descendants-not to mention that in Lin Daoming's heart, it is a shame to not capture the people in the cloud dream with his own hands. For you, the Qionglin banquet is a celebration, but for him it is a humiliation, how can he go?"

Ji Liuli's tone was full of mockery,

"I really want to instigate the secretary of rites of the imperial court to add the name of Lin Daoming to the tail of the banquet list! But the secretary of rites is very jealous of the flying sword of Shushan. After drawing up this list, the person was no longer possessed, and he didn't even have the power to cover the talisman seal. ”

I doubt that Ji Liuli has been stolen by Lin Daoming when she was young.

"You're thinking bad. Although Lin Daoming and I are both the third generation of the sect, the year of entry is one year apart. Lin Daoming, Yan Yuan, and Qing Yu have similar entry years. He became famous by killing the great demon Murong Guantian and his accomplices together with Tianluoge, the current head of the Sword Sect. At that time, the world began to be in turmoil, and when I was born, the world was already boiling in turmoil. ”

My thoughts were instantly captured by Ji Liuli with his heart,

"Lin Daoming and I have no personal relationships, and sometimes he also goes to the Wenhou Mansion in the imperial capital to exchange piano skills with my clan Ji Xiaoai. We are nothing more than unhappy because of the friction between the Sword Sect Demon Courtyard and Kunlun. ”

Ji Liuli pondered for a moment, and took out another list from his sleeve to look at all of us, it was also a banquet list,

In fact, on the night of the Lantern Festival, the Son of Heaven also invited another passer-by to the banquet. It is a capable person who has lifted the siege of the demon tide in the imperial capital, and they will sit with you. ”
